Chipp — CPTO and Co-founder
Leading product and engineering. No-code AI platform — like ChatGPT and Wix had a baby.
Engineer and founder helping people and small businesses build with AI — no code required.
CPTO and Co-founder at Chipp.ai
Greer, South Carolina
I've spent 14 years building software in the consumer technology industry — 9 as an engineer at places like Reddit, Amazon Music, and The Home Depot, and the last 5 as a founder.
These days I lead product and engineering at Chipp, where we're making it easy for anyone to create and deploy AI-powered apps.
What does Hunter work on?
Hunter is the CPTO and Co-founder of Chipp, a no-code AI platform serving over 16,000 builders with more than 80,000 apps reaching 36 million users. Chipp brings software margins to service industries by connecting non-traditional software buyers with pre-built AI tooling that fits their niche use cases.
Before Chipp, Hunter founded Cottage, a marketplace that crowd-sourced MVPs for non-technical startup founders while providing junior engineers with real-world coding experience. Cottage laid the groundwork for Chipp by exploring how to bridge the gap between non-traditional software buyers and SaaS solutions.
